ABOUT US

E-commerce got real-time data infrastructure decades ago. Physical stores still have not. RADAR is changing that.

RADAR is building the data infrastructure layer for the physical world, starting with retail. Our hardware-enabled SaaS platform uses proprietary overhead sensors, software, and AI-powered analytics to locate every product in a store, continuously, down to the fixture. We are deployed across 1,400+ stores with retailers including American Eagle Outfitters and Old Navy, processing tens of billions of real-world events every day, delivering 99%+ accuracy in complex, noisy environments - at fleet scale.

RADAR is one of the best-funded companies in retail technology, backed by a recent Series B financing at a $1 billion valuation. Inventory accuracy is only the beginning. We believe RADAR can become foundational infrastructure for the physical economy, powering new AI-driven commerce experiences across retail and beyond.

Join us if you want to work on a large, unsolved, technically challenging problem with an ambitious team building category-defining technology. OUR VALUES

• Mission-Driven: We're transforming retail with cutting-edge technology and building something that truly matters.
• Collaborative Team: We thrive on curiosity, shared goals, and solving complex problems together.
• High Impact: You'll make meaningful contributions from day one and help shape the future of our product and company.
• Clear Communication: We value honesty, humility, and respectful dialogue—everyone's voice matters.
• Balanced Lives: We work hard, but not at the expense of well-being. We respect time, boundaries, and life outside of work.
• Diverse Perspectives: We believe better ideas come from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints.
• Empathy-Driven Design: We build with deep respect for our end users, listening closely to their feedback and needs.
